have had a heyday with this primary and likely heavily cited on DU like it was in the old days.

Remember when Cindy Sheehan was repeatedly called an attention whore on DU?

And that was back in the old moderator days!

Yep. Corporate whore, media whore, attention whore… all perfectly acceptable on DU.

Now, the use of corporate whore causes mass fainting.

2. Its not the use of 'corporate whore' per se

so much as its who is being referred to as being one. Thats what gets the underwears all bunched up around here

4. Democratic corporate whore. As if there isn't a one.

3. Racist jokes and screaming at blm activists gets a meh, using a common term goes up to 11.

I think their meters need to be recalibrated.

8. Me. God they helped keep me sane after Selection 2000.

I wish I knew who ran that website!

10. LOL at the liberal word police.

Livin in a liberal web forum bubble where that's a major outrage.

I guarantee you voters understand what someone means by "corporate whore" and they are more concerned with the problem it describes than they are offended by the word.

I can understand maybe somebody doesn't like this word but to be more outraged about it than about the problem it described is just plain dumb.

12. Yup, between Bartcop and The Horse
